996 Gurl

I may be the only chic on this forum, but here goes... I recently acquired a 2000 996 via eBay. LSS, the vehicle needs some love. Buyer beware! eBay offers no protection on vehicles more than 10 years old.

The Black Dawg currently has 121k mi, so it just underwent a 120k mile service and I replaced the air mass flow sensor. I am not prepared at this point to discuss other non-urgent mechanical items or all the cosmetic things I will do one day. For now, it suffices to say, I am sticking to the mechanical projects.

That said... what advice does anyone have on the headlights? The covers are cloudy, which I understand can be professionally buffed-out, but the internal headlamps are toast - burned out/through.

Pelican gave me a quote to replace driver's and passenger's headlight assemblies for about 1/2 what my mechanic could get them for through his sources. My question is, should I replace the whole headlight assembly on both sides, OR is there another more affordable option to fix/replace the headlamps and assembly I currently have?
